My interests heavily rotate around Music, Cars & Motorcycles of all kinds...I have an 88 Harley Tour Glide Classic that I have owned for years...used to have a Ninja ZX-11, stage 3 jet kit, 4 into 1 Vance&Hines Headers...soo fast...had it up to 175mph once, with room to move.....sold it after my Daughter was born....KNEW if I didn't, I'd probably die on it(or somewhere in the vicinity of where I left it and started rubbing pavement or trees or guard rails) I see too much nasty stuff in surgery and certainly don't want to end up with some of my company's harware in my extremities...outside of my Harley, I roll a little safer in my Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz Wagon or my Z-71 Silverado...but the people who ride with me will say "Barely Safer"...
I'd like to meet:
Who would I like to meet? My Brother has had lunch with Tom Cruise, dined with Bill Clinton(see photos), Justice Clarence Thomas, George W. Bush, the Kennedy's, Trump, George Mitchell the CEO of Disney, Fat Joe(yeah, the Rapper)...the list goes on and on....ME? I met some Country Stars when I was on Country Radio, I have interviewed some of the big ones, along with former Talk Show Host Tom Snyder, Legendary Composer and Aliquippa, PA's most famous son, Henry Mancini and 40's and 50's crooner, the man who wrote "The Christmas Song", Mel Torme. If you remember the show Night Court, Judge Harry's idol was Mel Torme....I have met all the guys from the Sopranos a couple years ago, not too long ago, hung out with Porn King, Ron Jeremy, in the Pittsburgh International Airport, while waiting to catch a flight and just saw Katie Lee Joel, wife of Billy Joel, in the Yigal Azereoul Boutique in the Hamptons...but I would love to meet ANY of the crew from the Howard Stern Show or the HBO show Entourage, David Lee Roth, Adam Duritz from Counting Crows...
Music:
WOW....broad subject...I honestly like all genres....I have a an 80gig Ipod in my car and if you were to poke thru it, you would find the Counting Crows, Van Halen, David Lee Roth AND Sammy Hagar(go figure?) Bruce, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Rascal Flatts, Ted Nugent, Kelly Clarkson, Jill Scott, Colin Hay, Chinese, Greek and Italian Music, Acoustic Alchemy, Enya, Enigma, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris,Jay-Z, the Granati Bros/G-Force, Donnie Iris, the Clarks....it goes on and on...eclectic and odd
Movies:
Scarface, Goodfellas, Casino,(Deniro & Pacino anyone?) Rocky 1, 2, 3 & 6...Diehard Trilogy, anything Schwarztenegger, Ferris Bueller
Television:
I'm stuck in reality hell nowadays....everything I watch is reality based...Watch a LOT fo HowardTV, the Howard Stern On Demand channel....but growing up, my favortie shows were WKRP in Cincinnati and Magnum P.I. I own every WKRP episode on DVD which you can't even buy in this country...and I have the first 5 seasons of Magnum on DVD...I was so hung up on the Magnum show that when I first went to Hawaii in 1981, I watched them film a scene with Tom Selleck and the Ferrari. In 1989, I visited the "Robin Master's Estate" where they filmed the show...Selleck wore a specific brand of Hawaiian shirt on the show, I have one. AND, if you ever watched the show, he and his Vietnam buddies all wore the same type of ring, a Cross of Laraine....yes, I have one... now I want to buy a Red Ferarri 308GTS and drive it around wearing a Detroit Tigers hat. I think that will complete me....
Books:
Keith is Blingin' and Pimpin' ADD HIM.
He's da Pimp Cooler than the other side of the pillow...p>
Books?....who has time to read?....favorite books have been "No One Here Gets Out Alive" an awesome bio about Jim Morrison of the Doors...and "Private Parts" & "Miss America" by Howard Stern....Just picked up Danny Bonaduce's Autobiography.. I'm digging Books on CD....Dennis Miller's Rants, Tim Russert has a few good books on CD...as does Larry King...two very good Books on CD by Gene Simmons...and Chef/Author Anthony Bourdain...
Heroes:
My Mom and Dad...and then my Brother, He has been called "arguably, this Country's BEST Trauma Surgeon" ...He consistantly works on developing newer and better ways to treat fractured bones...especialy with the Geriatric patients(broken hips) and he also puts NYPD's finest and NYFD's finest back together when they have met something tougher than they are...He recently was asked by the Government to go show the Military Surgeons some of the latest Trauma techniques as they were putting together the Boys & Girls who are flown out of Iraq twice a day after they are blown up by a roadside bomb or get shot up. My Brother has seen the worst shit possible in this country but he was deeply moved by what he saw at Landstuhl Hospital in Germany.
Other than my Brother, I'd have to say Veterans of this War and Wars past. They served so that most of us didn't have to.
Is this ME?
